This is my One-Eye-Jack, he recently turned 10 but still acts like a 3yr old. He was born blind in one eye but he doesn't know the difference, until there is a moth in front of him he is trying to catch. Very independent and lazy. Needs a new home so I don't have to take him to the local shelter.

I have two older cats that are Brother & Sister. Their wonderful sweet owner has passed away & they really need a home together I believe. Bootsie is sweet and gentle & Her brother Bennie Is tough & Funny & not overly friendly. They are loveable.

Cuddles is a 10 year old spayed and declawed female. She is indoors only and up to date on all vaccinations. She loves older children but needs to be in a home without dogs as they terrify her. She's been passed over time and time again because of her age, but this pretty face has years of love left to give!

she is a black with white kitten, she is getting the age of reproducing and I already have too many to feed. I must do something soon or else I will be forced to get rid of her and also 3 other females who are doing nothing but breeding and I am black balled and have not much income. Call the phone number and we can exchange the details of where and when and all of that.

Happy is the white kitten and Molly is the black tuxedo Mom. Happy's markings actually look like a happy kitty face on her back! Molly (1yr) and Happy (5mos) would like to stay together. I will help them get spayed.

Dean is a silver, grey tabby who arrived as as a stray. He's been weary of his new place but is warming quickly to the idea of free food and a comfortable, warm bed. More pics and personality assessments to come.

He is a super affectionate stray that i have been feeding for about 3 months. I brought him inside this when it got so cold. I took him to the humane society but I had to reclaim him a few days later as they said they are too full to keep senior cats because it takes too long to get them adopted, especially with potential age related health problems. So he is living in my house with 6 pet cats on main floor and a female stray in the basement and 2 large dogs. He wants to be petted constantly and i am not able to give him the attention he deserves. He reacts fine so far to my other cats and isn't scared of my large dogs. He is being ... (Read More)treated for an ear infection and ear mites and needs groomed. I need a home for him where he can look out windows and go outside too, and will not be declawed. He is litter box trained and was obviously a loved pet at some point in the past. He is absolutely gorgeous! He lets me pick him up and hold him while petting him and he purrs so loud. He comes over to my chair and rears up to get on my lap but I have to pick him up as he isn't able to jump very well. He will lay on my lap for hours as I gently pet him and doze off with my hand lightly resting on his side. I wish i could keep him. I will need reassurances about his new home and follow up contact including pics of him in new home. Please consider this beautiful loving boy for your pet! He deserves to have a good home for his golden years and will pay you back with so much love! (Less)

Gator came in as a stray. He was being fed by kind people in the neighborhood but started to act sick. A concerned citizen brought him to the shelter to be cared for. The facility is looking after him now. With time Gator has recovered from malnutrition and living in the wild. He shows signs that he tolerates dogs but isn't going to be their best friend. His favorite thing is a nice warm lap. He's not a fan of the grooming and will let you know when he's had enough.

This sweet little girl is is adorning a tabby white coat in the latest silky fur. She has the most timid meow but a purr that will melt your heart. This little ray of sunshine will scurry up on your shoulder to share her song and give kitty nose kisses. . UPDATE! Ashley has been a complicated girl. Her life revolves around freedom. Her preference would be to live outside. She has also been known to get feisty with other cats. Dogs are never allowed to enter her kingdom. Ashley will let you know when she's had enough but it's not a quick cuddle with this beauty. Many at our facility describe her as a split-personality diva. We did ... (Read More)move her to a new stand up kennel this week and put her in my office. She has calmed down a lot in there so my suspicion is that she just has some issues with being in the facility more than being a tad high maintenance.Call 913-684-4939/1669. (Less)

Rhea came to us with her three kittens. They have gone onto their forever homes but she is still awaiting her family.

Cats can make good pets in Kansas if they match your IifestyIe. Domestic Cats have been intriguing companions for humans since ancient times. Worldwide, cats are even more popular than dogs as pets. Sadly, huge numbers of cats are in need of adoption and care. A cat owner who no longer wants the cat, or is no longer able to care for a cat, may drop the cat off at a shelter or simply abandon it. Overcrowding in shelters, along with too few adoptive families for the cats, leads to many wonderful pets having to be euthanized. Abandoned cats fend for themselves and breed in the wild, forming colonies of feral cats. Feral cats have such a difficult existence that they typically only live an average of two years, whereas domestic cats can live an average of twelve years with proper care. Organizations exist that can catch and tame feral kittens, and then place them in a home, but adult ferals can rarely be socialized to trust humans. Meanwhile, many prospective cat owners choose to purchase a kitten from a pet store or breeder, and may not know that even purebred cats and kittens are often available for adoption.

Once someone is ready for the responsibility of caring for a cat, adoption can be an incredibly rewarding decision. Adoption benefits cats, owners, and society alike. Adopting a cat is typically much less expensive than purchasing one. Shelters often have a wide selection of very sweet, friendly cats and kittens, including purebreds. Adoptive owners enjoy bonding with their pets, and have the extra satisfaction of knowing they have rescued a wonderful companion from a hard existence. Every cat adopted means one less cat has to be euthanized. Every kitten purchased new results in one less opportunity for adoption to take place. If you are ready for a pet cat, please consider adoption!
